Do as I say, not as I do: On my failings as an investor
If a knowledgeable observer trained his or her sights on my choices, what are the trouble spots they would identify? Here are some of the biggies. I understand the tax implications of this, so I might as well sell each lot of restricted stock units as soon as it vests because there's no tax benefit to hanging on longer. And it's not like I think I possess some inside knowledge that the shares are likely to outperform the broad market.

Your daily horoscope: July 12, 2025
Some of your rivals may be stronger than you, and others may be better connected, but none possess your potent blend of deep intelligence and raging ambition. You really can make your dreams come true this year, by being your best possible self. Whatever you decide to change this weekend will need to be changed back again at a later date, so be smart and leave things as they are. With Saturn about to begin its retrograde phase you need to be more of an observer than a doer. Be careful what you say over the next 48 hours because the words you use could be hurtful without you realizing it. Not everyone is as robust as you, so be mindful of the fact that some people can be ultra sensitive to negative comments. You can, if you wish, shut yourself away from the world and brood over what's gone wrong of late, but will that actually change anything? Of course not. Get out there and interact with everyone you meet – because someone will have the answers you seek. It's not wrong to put your own interests first but the planets warn you will accomplish more in the long-term if you bring other people into your plans as equal partners. If you are not already a team player then it's time to become one. As Saturn begins its retrograde phase in the most adventurous area of your chart this weekend it will pay you to be a little less reckless in the way you interact with the world. Remind yourself often that actions always have consequences. You will be forced to face facts this weekend and it may not be the most pleasurable experience. A dream of some sort is still attainable but you are going to have to be much more structured in your approach than you have been of late. What goes out of your life this weekend will free up a lot of room for bringing new things, and new people, into your orbit. Start chucking out all those possessions you own but never use – at the very least you will create more closet space. All things may be possible but that does not mean you can do everything in one go. The message of the stars this weekend is that you need to be more selective in your activities, especially if you want to make a good impression on the work front. It's not like you to doubt your own abilities but there will be times this weekend when you start to wonder if you have bitten off more than you can chew. You need to catch that insecurity early and banish it from your thoughts completely. A risk you took a while back is about to rebound on you and at the very least you will have to admit that you pushed your luck too far. No great harm will be done but you must learn from the experience so as not to repeat it. Someone you thought you could rely on will be less than helpful over the next 48 hours but it's no big deal and you must not let it come between you. Act on the assumption that they have their reasons for giving your suggestions a miss. A setback of some sort, maybe of a financial nature, will catch you by surprise this weekend. It has actually been a long time in the making but your mind was focused on other matters. Now though you can and you must give it your full attention. Discover more about yourself at

I've watched rugby in every corner of the world - these are the 20 bucket list stadiums you MUST watch a game in before you die, writes CHRIS FOY
At least, here it is, a global guide to help oval-ball enthusiasts plan the best places to take in a fixture – close to home or thousands of miles away. Below is a personal top 20 list of rugby venues which this observer would recommend for a visit, subject to the availability of tickets or – in most cases – the (rising) cost of the air fares.
